Scarborough Light

Scarborough Light
Best enlarged

Scarborough lighthouse stands a the end of The Vincent Pier, completed in 1752. The lighthouse, first constructed 1801-06, was seriously damaged during the bombardment of Scarborough by German cruisers on December 16th 1914. The lighthouse tower had to be dismantled and was rebuilt in 1931. Some 500 shells were fired on the town and eighteen people killed.
